SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Land Policy and Management Act
(FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1739) directs the Secretary of the Interior to
involve the public in planning and issues related to management of
lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Section 309
of FLPMA directs the Secretary to establish 10- to 15-member citizen-
based advisory councils that are consistent with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). As required by FACA, RAC membership must be
balanced and representative of the various interests concerned with the
management of the public lands.
The RAC has one vacancy in category one (holders of Federal grazing
permits and representatives of organizations associated with energy and
mineral development, timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way,
developed outdoor recreation, off-highway vehicle use, and commercial
recreation), one vacancy in category two (representatives of nationally
or regionally recognized environmental organizations; archaeological
and historic organizations, dispersed recreation activities, and wild
horse and burro organizations), and one vacancy in category three
(representatives of state, county, or local elected office; employees
of a state agency responsible for management of natural resources;
representatives of Indian tribes within or adjacent to the area for
which the council is organized; representatives of academia who are
employed in natural sciences; or the public-at-large). Upon
appointment, the individuals selected will fill the position until
January 12, 2015. Nominees must be residents of Wyoming. BLM will
evaluate nominees based on their education, training, experience, and
their knowledge of the geographical area. Nominees should demonstrate a
commitment to collaborative resource decision making. The Obama
Administration prohibits individuals who are currently federally
registered lobbyists to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards,
committees, or councils. The following must accompany all nominations:
--Letters of reference from represented interest or organizations;
--A completed background information nomination form; and
--Any other information that addresses the nominee's qualifications.
